QUAKE DONE QUICKEST


INTRODUCTION:

   'Quake done Quickest' is a run through all of Quake on Nightmare
   skill, going through the levels as fast as possible. This is the
   sequel to the very popular - and outdated - 'Quake done Quick
   with a Vengeance', QdQwaV, which was released way back on the 13th
   of September, 2000.


INSTALLATION:

   First you need to find your main Quake directory. This probably has
   the name 'Quake' and will contain such items as your Quake executable
   programs (such as quake.exe, or winquake.exe, or glquake.exe...) and
   your Id1 subdirectory. (Mac users may be more used to the term
   'folder' than directory)

   You should make a subdirectory of this main directory. Give it
   whatever name you like; for the purposes of these instructions we
   will assume you have called it 'qdqst'.

   The qdqst.zip file should contain 3 files which should
   be unzipped into the qdqst directory. These 3 files are:

   pak0.pak - contains all the data for the demo
   qdqst.txt - this text file you are reading
   autoexec.cfg - pre-set settings


RUNNING THE MOVIE:

   Now to run the movie, start Quake with the command-line option
   '-game qdqst'

   The movie is played from a menu interface, so that you can choose
   to play the whole movie, or individual episodes, or individual
   levels. Using the menu should be mostly self-explanatory! 

   You can use the following keys during playback:

   F1  / slow-mo
   F2  / normal speed
   F3  / fast forward
   F5  / backwards (JoeQuake only)
   F9  / skips to the next demo
   F10 / return to menu
   F12 / quits


TIMING:

   Just a quick explanation of why we say we completed Quake in
   11:29. We recorded every demo separately and then connected them
   together, adding the times for the four episodes plus the end level.


HOW THE RUN WAS RECORDED:

   We recorded each demo separately, on skill 3 (Nightmare), of course
   without any cheating. To start with the correct stats we ended the
   previous level with, we used a QuakeC patch that allowed us to
   select the statistics we started with. There are no weapons in the
   higher levels, because you should have them already from previous
   ones. And we did it by connecting single demos together because the
   final product is a lot more interesting that way and entertaining,
   and we could include some very cool tricks that we couldn't do had
   we recorded it in one sitting.


STATISTICS:

   Saved times are compared to the predecessor 'Quake done Quick
   with a Vengeance run in 12:23:
